Zyxel India Multy Plus, a wireless solution that changes the game for SMBs by delivering business-grade mesh WiFi at a more affordableprice point and with easier, plug-and-play usability. Multy Plus is optimized for small businesses with large environments: it can be managed from a browser or an app,ithas a dedicated security app, and it comes withindustry-best mounting options rightout of the box. “Small businesses have long been relying on commercial access points to provide wireless internet to guests,” said Bill Su, senior AVP of Zyxel’s Smart LivingSBU.“It’s a far fromoptimal solution as wiring these APs takes a great deal of time and money. Managing them is equally difficult given their complex interfaces, which even experts can struggle with.” “As a mesh solution, Multy Plus gets the job donebetter,with less work and less expenditure. It only requiresplacing two or more access points anywhere around the premises—no wired connections necessary—and itsinterface is straightforward enoughthat even non-IT staff can use it.” From restaurants to small offices,the device’s tri-band WiFi and 5-GHz dedicated backhaul offer speeds of up to 1,733 Mbps across 5,000 square feet via nine internal antennas. Introducing AiShield Multy Plus is raising the bar for cybersecurity with AiShield, a dedicated security app thattakes numerous GUI functions and packages them for convenient mobile use.

GUI andapp make management easy and easier Multy Plus is the first Zyxel mesh solutionthat can be managed with both a companion app and a web-based GUI, giving businesses practical flexibility in how they administer their networks. With either platform, you can check data usage, adjust bandwidth allocations, and separate the network into up to three services: one for administrators, one for employees, and one for visitors—all with different permissions. Easy-to-configure captive portals Multy Plus also streamlines and simplifies the process of setting up a captive portal that users must navigate through to gain WiFi access. The GUI offersbusinesses straightforward options for their captive portal, letting them configure the password, terms and conditions, and images, such as a logo or photo. Every mounting option—right in the box Most mesh access points come with limited mounting options, oftenforcing buyers to purchase additional installation hardware for each one. Not Multy Plus. It comes with every installation option in the box: wall, ceiling, desktop, and T-bar mounting as well as a chicupright stand.In addition, Multy Plus’s clean, unobtrusive design means it blends in if simply placed on a table or shelf.
